UPDATE

I just heard from Dr. Syn's office. Apparently the insurance did not get my info when they faxed it in the first time. So looks like we might not hear anything for another month. I knew going into this that it was going to be a long process. I guess I just did not know how hard it was going to be. It is so hard waiting. On a good note though by waiting I am having more time to get ready for it. I have been going to counseling for about a month now. Things are slow moving because I am going every other week. My counselor assures me that I am doing really good and am ahead of my game. I am really excited about that.

In my spiritual world things are going great. Matt and I are getting really involved at the downtown campus and we love it. We are so blessed to be a part of a great church. God has been moving at elife in ways that I can not believe. We saw over 600 people get baptized in one weekend. Then last weekend Matt and I participated in the four year anniversary celebration. Matt and I got to share our testimony about how God had set us free from our addiction from pornography through cardboard testimonies. If you don't know what that is look it up on you tube and you will find it. After each service we had people that came up to us and thanked us for sharing our story. The thing that broke my heart about that was that two of them were teenagers. God has really been laying this on my heart. I am not sure how I am going to make this happen but I would love the chance to share my story with teenage girls. Also God has lead us to a new lifehouse. We are so excited. We like it a lot. We can't wait for our social tomorrow night. This last weekend I also got to help with the Beth Moore event at the United Spirit arena. It was really cool. My favorite thing that came out of the day was a new devotional book about John that we got. It has really drawn Matt and I closer to God and to each other. I am excited to see what God is going to do.

Bailey has started preschool and it doing really well. I am excited to see all the ways that she is going to change this year. She has started Ballet at her daycare and is loving it. This next Friday she is going to get to go on her first field trip. They are going to the corn maze. Matt is thinking about going with her. Tomorrow her and daddy are going to eat breakfast before school. Matt and I got a chance to see the new movie from Sherwood Pictures "Courageous" Matt was really challenged to be a better daddy. I am so proud of him.

Here is the picture of our Cardboard testimony. This was painted with black light paint by Sarah Morey-Taylor. She is so talented.

Here are some examples of some cardboard testimonies by the fabulous Marla and Jenny. So glad to meet so many new friends.

CHECK ME OUT!!!!

Hi my name is Francis Daniels. I am 32 years old. I live in Lubbock, Tx with my husband Matt and my wonderful daughter Bailey. I have struggled my whole life with my weight and have been on a journey to change that. I am 5'4 and my starting weight was 360 lbs. In October 2011 I had bariatric surgery. I chose to have the duodenal switch. Since surgery i have lost 155 lbs. However, with the stress of Grad school, I regained about 40lbs. Now that Grad School is out I am determined to get back on track. My journey has taken longer than most, but it is all about the journey. My prayer is that someone out there will be inspired by my journey and that we can all be better people inside and out.
